[Footnote 35: _Geol. Surv. Mem. North Derbyshire_, p. 24. This is outcrop No. 53 of Mr. Bemrose's paper, p. 635.] Four miles to the south-west of Hopton, on the slope of the hill at Kniveton Wood, another remarkable mass of agglomerate forms a rounded ridge between the two forks of a small stream.[36] Its granular matrix, like that of the other necks, consists of lapilli of minutely vesicular basic glassy lava or pumice, and encloses large and small rounded blocks of finely cellular basalt and pieces of limestone. The rock is unstratified, and in all respects resembles that of ordinary Carboniferous necks in Scotland. Its relations to the Yoredale rocks are laid bare in the channels of the streamlets. There the shales and thin limestones may be seen much broken and plicated, their curved and fractured ends striking directly at the agglomerate. They may be traced to within a yard of the agglomerate. On the Geological Survey map the igneous rock is represented as bounded by two parallel faults. But I hardly think that this explanation suffices to account for the relations of the rocks and their remarkable boundary-line, which seems to me to be undoubtedly the wall of a volcanic vent. To the east of the streams, another mass of agglomerate may mark another neck, while to the north, a third detached area of the same kind of rock, rising among the limestones, may be regarded as likewise a distinct mass. At this locality, therefore, there are two, possibly three, vents. One of these, from the way in which it cuts across the Yoredale shales and limestones, is to be assigned to a time later than the older part of the Yoredale series, and thus, like the Hopton mass, it indicates that in the south of the volcanic area eruptions did not cease with the close of the deposition of the thick limestones, but were prolonged even into the time of the Yoredale rocks.
